Hi, I am in Cameron County, Texas (all the way South). I found this big guy crawling the other day. I'm not an expert at butterflies or moths but I have an interest in them, we see a lot of neat stuff here but I have never seen anything exactly like this.
The only thing I can come up with is some kind of moth larvae, 'Rothschildia'? Oh.. the photo doesn't show how blue the ventral surface is.
What do you think? Thanks for any help,
Gus
